I have a daughter, she is five. She loves to play with all her friends. Many people like
her. She always call me with “Abu”, not like many child in calling their mother with
abu. On weekday, me and my husband and my son went to Alun-alun, as usual my
daughter loves to ride horse there. While she is riding horse, we always take photos
of her. After that, we went to canteen to eat. She walked after me, suddenly called
“Abu” and spontanoiusly I replied “Yess, honey”. I’m not too ignoring her much
because i’m too concern ordering food in canteen. Once again she called “Abu” and
again I replied “Yess, Ade” but she doesn’t look at me. When I came to her, she is
talking with her father “Abu ayah.. abu yaa” and her Dad said” yess baby, it’s abu”. I
completely understood of what she means with abu at that time. She doesn’t called
me but she saw the clown that his shoes was grey or abu-abu. I was smiling to
myself, the word abu becomes so funny to me that means color and the predicate
for me as a mom.
